Powerful representation with kindness

Mr. Bob Helland and staff have continued to go above and beyond Throughout the court process and after, making the difficult circumstances easier and lighter. They showed me positive, courteous regards with kind hearts, no matter my emotional state. Robert Helland and the staff are a knowledgeable p...rofessional team that has made me feel comfortable, protected, heard and respected, throughout a roller coaster of difficult situations. They truly had my back at every turn. I would definitely recommend this law firm for anyone who wants a team to work for them. Robert Helland is an example that you can win while representing with ethics and integrity. Robert Helland is the best attorney I’ve ever had.

Great lawyer and staff

Bob Helland helped me with an overpayment of Child Support, however the judge the didnt find in my favor, but it wasnt because we lacked a thorough case. Bob always was available for questions and his staff put in lots of hours auditing my payments. His staff is also easy to talk to and work with. ...And on top of that, they have been exceptional with handling payments to my account. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bob Helland!! I have never had such a compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer in all the years I have had to deal with this matter. I wish I had used Mr. Helland years ago when my court nightmare began. You are choosing an EXCELLENT Lawyer and staff!!

Outstanding service

Robert Helland has handled legal matters for me for 20+ years. He most recently helped me with a personal injury case involving a hit and run pedestrian injury accident. Within the first week that I came to Mr. Helland with this case he located an eye witness and obtained a statement as well as the... police investigation reports and filed the appropriate papers to initiate a lawsuit. He was very well prepared and professional in dealings with the insurance company and opposing council. He successfully negotiated an acceptable settlement to avoid the cost and time involved had the case gone to trial. Throughout the process I was always kept aware of the status of the progress of the proceedings and what to expect as the case neared completion. I could not have been more satisfied with the final settlement and resolution of the case. In addition Mr. Heeland always informed of the costs associated with the proceedings and always obtained my approval before incurring any expenses. I have obtained the services of other attorneys for various issues over the years but none more honest and up front than Robert Helland. If he feels that something is not within his field of knowledge he will tell you that and recommend someone that may be better equipped to handle your issue. His honesty and professionalism is outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Helland to my closest family and friends.

Professional and Diligent

Bob has assisted me in numerous cases. He has always displayed very zealous advocacy. His knowledge of the law and courthouse procedures is fantastic. I would recommend him to all.
